In The Surf [AdrielBacon Young]

In The Surf [Adriel ‘Bacon’ Young]

Description: Y/N gets ran over by her best friends boyfriend, Colton, out in the surf, and Bacon has to rescue her, but it’s complicated.

Warnings: Broken bones, gashes.

"You guys ready?" Y/F/N asks as her boyfriend and Y/N stand next to her.

"Uh, yeah." Colton, her boyfriend sighs.

He's definitely not ready. He doesn't know how to surf, but that's not what he told Y/F/N, and Y/N.

"Yeah. Last one to the lineup buys lunch." Y/N says and starts running towards the water. Colton was definitely going to buy lunch, because Y/N's using the rip to send her out.

The swell was great, eight to nine foot waves. You don't get that too often at Bondi.

Y/N made it out first and caught a couple of waves before sitting with Colton while they watch Y/F/N ride a wave in. Then she turns and sees a great set coming in. She starts paddling and so does Colton. Y/N gets up and she's closest to the break, so all of the other surfers back off, except for one.

Colton keeps going and loses balance for a split second, changing the direction of his board and smashing into the back of Y/N's leg and sending her flying before falling off himself, but he gets washed in towards the shore.

Pain radiates through Y/N's leg as she tries to resurface, but a huge wave throws her around before she can get up to breathe again.

Y/N's local. She grew up surfing and swimming here at Bondi, Tamarama, and Bronte. So, she's here quite often and has met a few of the lifeguards after helping a few people stay above water. She definitely didn't need them to rescue her, but when Bacon saw a familiar board bobbing up in down, vertical in the air after the big wave, his heart dropped. Then the board goes back to its original position and she throws her arms over the board and rests her head, but she doesn't get on.

"Hey Bacon, you might have to go in. I think she might've gotten hit by another surfer." Chappo says over the radio.

"Yeah mate, I'm going." Bacon replies.

He takes his pullover off and grabs the board, then starts running. He hits the water and starts paddling. The waves that kept coming were harsh, almost knocking him off the rescue board a few times.

Bacon was hoping that by time he got out to her, she'd still be hanging onto her board, and not under the water.

Finally, after one last huge wave he reached her.

"Y/N?" Her head pops up and she sees Bacon, who she'd met multiple times.

"Hey. I got hit." Y/N says and tries once again to get up on her board. "My left leg hurts like a bitch and I can't get up on the board."

Bacon nods and moves on his board. "Is it alright if I get in and take a look?"

"Be my guest." She laughs and plops her head back down.

Bacon jumps into the water and swims over to her leg. It's bent at a weird angle.

Definitely broken.

He resurfaces closer to her and puts his hand on her shoulder.

"I'd say it's definitely broken. I'll have to support it somehow."

"We will have to ditch my board. It's not going to help at all." Bacon nods and goes back under to free her from the strap.

Then she lets go of her board and grabs onto the blue rescue board. The surfboard starts going towards the shore with the waves.

"Alright I'm going to lift you up on here. It's probably going to hurt." He warns.

"Do what you have to do, I'll be fine." Y/N replies. Bacon nods and grabs onto her thighs.

"Push up from my shoulders." Y/N nods and does as directed. She finally gets on the board but the painful part is coming, laying on her stomach and moving the broken extremity around. Bacon helps her get into position and gets on behind her. "I'll try and be as careful as I can." Bacon says and starts paddling.

The rescue is going smooth, until a big wave pops up and wipes them out and onto the reef, making Bacon lose the board, and causing some pretty nasty gashes and scrapes. 

"Shit! Are you alright?" Bacon asks as he gets over to Y/N.

"Yeah, I'm good. You?" She asks and scoots herself so she's sitting up.

"I'm fine, just lost the board." Bacon notices how pale she's gotten knows he's got to make a decision soon.

Wait for another lifeguard. Or, carry her so she doesn't get hypothermia and go into shock.

He decides to carry her in, so, he puts a arm under her leg and the other around her back. He hoists her up and starts walking, then another wave hits them, and he falls to his knees, but doesn't let go of her.

§§§

Bacon and Y/N finally make it to shore and Maxi meets them, while Quinno gets a splint and the green whistle ready.

Y/F/N runs up with Colton in tow.

"Y/N what the hell? Where'd you go?"

"She was stuck out in the surf because your boyfriend ran his board into her leg and left her out there." Bacon snaps.

Colton is definitely on his shit list.

"I was closest to the break dumbass. You don't keep going if I've got the wave."

Bacon and Maxi set Y/N in the back of the rhino. They wrap her in towels and blankets while Quinno gives her the green whistle.

After a few breaths of that Y/N's pain slowly starts to go away and she looks at Bacon.

"You're a good guy. Saving my ass unlike King Dickhead over there."

The boys laugh and Y/N just keeps breathing with the whistle.

"Never thought I'd have to rescue you if I'm being honest." Bacon replies as he sits next to her and puts another blanket around her.

"Right? But at least I was in the right place for what I was doing. Swim between the flags. Not at South Bondi, and in Backpackers Rip. That thing is like a freaking ice cream truck or something, because everyone goes straight to it." Y/N says and uses her hands for exaggeration. All of the boys laugh and agree with her.

§§§

Even though the people the boys normally rescue don't show up again, Y/N definitely did, and Bacon got a girlfriend out of it.

Heart [Andrew ‘Reidy’ Reid]

Description: Y/N is Reidy's daughter, and she has a heart condition.

Warnings: Cursing? I think that is it.

"Hey Y/N/N wanna race in?" Harries asks with a big, playful smile.

Y/N, Harries and Maxi were all out in the water taking advantage of the beautiful weather. Bondi has been quiet all day and Reidy had brought his favorite, and only, girl down to hang out with her favorite guys.

Y/N Reid was born with Congenital Heart Disease, where her heart has holes in it, and if her heart rate gets too high, she can't breathe.

Her mother didn't want to deal with it, so she left. Leaving Reidy alone with his sick baby girl, but he'd never have it any other way.

Reidy is obsessed with his now, teenage daughter. Y/N is the light of his life and keeps him motivated to be the man he is. She is his favorite person, so that means Reidy is quite protective over her, and when she hangs out with two of Waverley Councils goofiest lifeguards, he has strict rules.

One. Don't go too far out.

Two. Stay away from the twins and flat rock.

Three. Don't go swim in a rip.

Four. Don't overwork herself.

Maxi and Harries love to go out and paddle with Y/N, because she can give them both a run for their money.

"What does the winner get?" Maxi asks.

"Nothing, but maybe a laugh at the losers." Harries replies. The younger two of the three laugh loudly before agreeing.

They made a starting line and counted down from five.

"Five. Four. Three. Two. One!"

They took off paddling as hard as they could, all three of them looking back every few meters to look for waves to speed it up.

Once they’re two hundred meters from shore Y/N's heart starts racing and she starts slowing down. She knew she had to try and slow her heart rate, or else it would be bad.

After stopping for a few seconds and waiting, her heart continues to pick up its pace, so she called out to the boys.

"Guys!" Her voice was quiet amongst the sound of the ocean.

They didn’t hear her.

§§§

Reidy had gone across the road to the locker rooms, and he had told Hoppo to keep an eye on Y/N, so when Hoppo saw Y/N stop and lie her head down on the board, he knew exactly what would happen.

He left Gonzo in the tower and took one of the rhinos down to the waters edge. He didn’t wait and see if she could make it in, he just grabbed the board and went.

He passed Maxi and Harries who seemed confused, and they turned around to see Y/N laying on her board, floating with it.

"Shit! Maxi did she yell for us?!" Harries exclaims while turning around to paddle back out.

"I didn’t hear her!" Maxi replies as he does the same.

Hoppo reaches Y/N and grabs her hand.

"Just breathe. You’ll be alright." He gets Y/N on his board and unhooks the leg rope from her board. He sits there with her for a few moments. Breathing with her and trying to get her to calm down. It works a little bit, but not all the way.

Hoppo has known Y/N since she was a toddler. When Reidy first started working at Bondi he would always bring her around when he couldn’t get someone to watch her, so she’d hang out in the tower with everyone.

All of the lifeguards love having her there. She’s like their little peak of sunshine on rainy days, so when she’d start having trouble breathing like she is now. They’d all be trying to help her and get her anything she wanted or needed, which most of the time was her dad.

When Reidy came back to the tower and saw Hoppo out on the board with his daughter he immediately sprinted down there and made it in time to help her onto the sand.

Reidy sat behind her while Harries got the oxygen mask for her to breathe into.

"Here sweetheart. Breathe into this." Reidy puts the mask over her nose and mouth and lets her breathe carbon dioxide. They all sit by her while Reidy rocks them both side to side and strokes her hair.

After a few minutes her heart rate is in normal range and she feels better.

"You feeling better now?" Hoppo asks.

"Yeah, just tired." Y/N answers and takes the sweatshirt Maxi is handing her. "Thank you guys."

"Don’t thank us. We’d do anything for you, we love you." Harries gives her a bear hug.

"Well, I love you guys too."

Secret Santa [Will Lockwood] 🎄

Description: Will and Y/N’s best friends rig the Secret Santa, because they know Will and Y/N are in love with each other.

Warnings: Cursing.

A/N: Day 3 of 12 Days of Christmas!

Y/N walks out of the locker room with her roommates Brooke, Morgan and Mady carrying her duffle, and book bag. They had just finished up at practice and were heading back to their house.

"Y/L/N! Wait up!" A voice calls out from behind her. Everyone stops and turns around. Luke, Griffin, Jake and Will are all walking together.

"What's up?" She asks as she adjusts the strap of her duffle bag that seemed to weigh twenty million pounds.

"Christmas party is at our place right?" Griffin asks, giving Will a look in the process.

"Yeah. Does that need changed?" Y/N questions.

"No. Will didn't believe us."

"Because we usually do team parties at their house." Will defends himself.

"It's senior year, we thought we should change it up a bit." Morgan says.

They start walking out to the parking lot again and Y/N continues to struggle with her bags. Will notices as he walks behind her, so he falls in step with her and grabs the strap. Y/N turns to face him as he pulls it off of her shoulder.

"Will, it's ok. I can carry it." She whispers as the rest of her friends carry on with their conversation about the Christmas party.

"I know you're still hurting from that hit on Monday, that and it's icy outside, let me help you." He's right, so she finally lets go of the duffle bag.

They make it outside and to their vehicles, but Will follows Y/N to her car. She unlocks it and puts her bag in the backseat. She turns to grab the duffle bag from Will but he motions for her to step aside and sets it in there himself.

"Thank you." Y/N smiles and gives him a hug.

"No problem. Be careful bringing it in and relax tonight ok? Don't try and deep clean or anything. Just eat some food, take a hot shower and go to bed."

"Yes mom." Y/N replies sarcastically.

"Ok lovebirds lets go! It's freezing!" Luke yells out of the window of his car, waiting for Will.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Y/N laughs.

§§§

The next day the group went to a Christmas tree farm to get their trees.

While searching for trees everyone besides Y/N notices Will watching her lovingly.

They had all been asked to take a picture with a young boy, who absolutely loved hockey and the University of Michigan's teams.

Y/N loves kids so, she was more than happy to take a picture. She squatted down next to the boy and wrapped a arm around him with a bright smile.

Will kept his eyes on her the whole time. He also loved kids, and Y/N's kindness toward kids, and any other person only made him like her more.

"Do you guys see those two?" Mady asks as she walks back to the group from the bathroom. Will and Y/N were both taking a picture with the little boy now.

"Yeah they make me sick." Luke says.

"Shut up, Luke. You're just jealous Will likes Y/N more than he likes you." Morgan laughs loudly. Brooke hip checks her to shut her up.

"They're both oblivious." Griffin says.

"We need to figure out how to get them together before the end of this semester." Jake sighs.

"I've got an idea." Brooke says and the group turns to face her.

"Elaborate." Luke says.

"So you know how we're doing Secret Santa again right?"

§§§

It was the weekend before the start of winter break, and the hockey teams were having their annual Christmas party. Everyone had pulled a name for secret santa, but Brooke and Luke made sure Will and Y/N drew each other.

Y/N had spent the two weeks before the party freaking out. She wanted to get Will the perfect present since it was their last year. She had asked everyone for ideas, but everyone was just as clueless as her except for Luke and Brooke.

At first Will had freaked out but he had a perfect idea for Y/N.

Y/N, Brooke, Morgan and Mady arrived first to help the boys finish setting up. They were all dressed up, the decided theme for this year was "black tie". Will let the girls in after checking Y/N out as well as he could with her jacket on.

He grabbed some stuff from their hands and helped them put their coats away before finally getting to take a good look at her.

"You look absolutely amazing Y/N."

Her face flushed as she straightened out her dress.

"Thank you. You look very handsome, Will."

Throughout the rest of the time before the party everyone was busy trying to make sure everything is perfect.

Will had rounded the corner when he spotted Y/N by herself standing on a chair hanging up a decoration.

"Y/N, please don't fall." Will says as he walks up beside her.

"I'm a big girl Lockwood, I can look out for myself."

"You're a klutz, Y/L/N." Will laughs.

"Shit!" She exclaims as the chair tips forwards from leaning too far. Will grabs her legs and pulls them to his body to hold her up.

The chair gets back on all fours and they both start laughing hysterically. Will picks her up and sets her on the ground.

"Maybe you do need someone to look out for you." He flirts.

§§§

After eating a lot of food, downing some drinks and taking a lot of pictures and videos of the games they played it was finally time to exchange presents.

Everyone had found their present and opened at the same time.

Y/N opened her gift to see a few things wrapped. She grabbed the smaller one first. She unwrapped it and opened the box. Inside was a rose gold necklace with "VIII - XI - MMXVI" engraved on it. She recognizes the date, August 11, 2016.

Will opens his gift to find a book that has things involving him on the cover. He picks the book up and opens it. It's pictures of him and Y/N. Most of them are candids of the two that he assumed they're friends had taken. Some were selfies they'd taken together, some were from school events. He looked through the whole book, scanning every picture with a big smile on his face until he got to the end. It was a picture of Will and Y/N looking lovingly at each other during a party, and under it there was a note.

Don't forget me when you get to Vancouver, rockstar. I love you.

Y/N Y/LN

Will looked at Y/N who was opening the last gift in her box.

He had gotten her a necklace with the date they met, a bag tag with his name and number on it and a picture frame with his favorite picture of them.

This was his plan, to ask her out using secret santa.

She unwrapped the picture frame and smiled while tears gathered in her eyes. She picked up the note and covered her mouth.

Brooke and Morgan who were both sat on either side of her looked over at Will.

I will always love you, beautiful. Be my girl?

Y/N looks at him and he stands up to go over to her. Y/N stands up as well and Will grabs her hand.

"I guess we're on the same page?" Will chuckles. Y/N nods.

"I love you, Will." He wraps his arms around her body and pulls her into him as she places her lips on his.

Luke and Brooke look at each other and fist bump.

"We're damn good matchmakers."

Wrapping Paper [Quinn Hughes] 🎄

Description: Quinn can't wrap gifts to save his life. Y/N is his neighbor and can help.

Warnings: Cursing.

A/N: Day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas!

"Mom, I have no idea what I am doing." Quinn whines to Ellen through the phone.

He's trying to wrap presents, and it's not going well.

"Well did you watch a video honey? Maybe that can help." Ellen suggests.

Quinn tries to pull the wrapping paper and accidentally rips it. "Damnit." He mumbles. "I did watch a video, it just doesn't work."

"Well, do you know anyone there that can help you?" She asks.

"None of the boys know how to." Quinn says, setting scissors down.

"How about Y/N? You guys always say that she knows how to fix and do everything."

Y/N is Quinn's neighbor and a photographer for the canucks. He has a tiny crush on her, but we don't talk about that.

"Mom. I am not asking Y/N to help me wrap presents." He sighs.

"Why not? She's always told you if you ever need anything just let her know." Ellen questions. She really didn't understand why he couldn't just ask Y/N for help. She's a really sweet girl.

"Because I'm twenty years old and this is embarrassing." He replies. He tosses the scissors on the carpeted floor and runs a hand through his hair. "Maybe I should just get bags."

Ellen laughs. "You do what you want honey, but I know Y/N will help you and not even question it."

"Ok mom." Quinn sighs, again. "Well I know it's late there so tell Luke and dad I love and miss them."

"I will. Goodbye Quinn, I love you."

"Love you too mom."

They hang up and Quinn looks around his living room, at all of the presents he needed to wrap.

"This is going to take forever."

§§§

"So Quinn, how is present wrapping going?" Brock asks after practice.

"It's been like three days and I only have two done slightly correct. So if that tells you anything." Quinn replies, taking his helmet off.

"Dude, just ask Y/N. Have you been to her place lately? She's got everything wrapped perfectly under her tree. I even had her wrap that one toy for my nephew."

Y/N walks over to the bench and greets everyone.

"Hey guys, were doing the Christmas pictures today just let me know when you want to start."

Everyone gives her a "ok" and she goes back to set up her camera to take pictures of the rest of practice.

§§§

After practice and the Christmas pictures and videos were all done Brock, Elias and Quinn were all walking to the vehicle they carpooled in to go home and play video games when they saw Y/N walking to her car.

So, as any teammate would, Brock decided to take advantage of it and help Quinn out.

"Hey Y/N!" He exclaims. Quinn shoved him and gave him a death glare while Elias just giggled. She turns around and stops to wait for them.

"Hey Brock, what's up?" She asks, shifting her bag on her shoulder.

"Could you help Quinny wrap his presents? He's struggling." Brock side eyes Quinn, who rolls his eyes.

"Yeah of course! Just let me know when you get home and I'll come over and help you?" She questions.

"Yeah! Thank you." Quinn shyly replies.

"No problem! You guys have fun playing video games." She says before she gets into her car and drives off.

"See Quinn. She's a sweetheart, you don't have to be afraid to talk to her." Brock chuckles, throwing his stuff in the car.

"I'm not afraid to talk to her." Quinn pouts.

"Yeah ok." Elias pipes in.

"Shut up Petey."

§§§

After getting home, Quinn texted Y/N and told her he was home and she replied a few minutes later saying she'd be over soon.

He looked around his apartment and decided to pick up stuff he'd thrown around randomly.

If only Jack and Luke could see him. They'd never let him hear the end of it. He can hear their voices in his head already.

"Quinn's got a crush."

"Quinn's whipped."

Whatever floats their boat.

His doorbell rang and he scanned around one last time to make sure it didn't look like a complete pigsty before opening it.

"Hey, thanks for coming over."

"You don't need to thank me. I've got brothers, I understand wrapping presents isn't really a guys thing." She laughs.

"Especially not mine." Quinn laughs with her.

§§§

After an hour, all of the presents were wrapped, labeled and decorated with bows. Y/N even sort of taught him how to wrap presents.

"I know you just taught me but I might just have to keep asking you to help me because I actually really like spending time with you." Quinn says, watching her write on a tag for Lukes gift.

"I like spending time with you too. You're a great person Quinn."

"Thank you. I think you're great too." He smiles. "So, would you maybe want to stay and watch a movie with me? I'll order us food." He offers.

"Yeah, that sounds great." She smiles.

Later after eating and while they were in the middle of the movie, Quinn gets a text.

Brock

So did your presents get wrapped Quinny?

Out Of Stock [Eddie Diaz] 🎄

Description: Eddie is desperate to find a popular toy for Christopher, but it's been sold out everywhere. Y/N helps.

Warnings: Cursing.

A/N: Day 5 of 12 days of Christmas! 

Y/N and Eddie are best friends. They have been since they met in the military, so since she doesn't have family in Los Angeles, she spends it with Eddie, Christopher and the rest of their family.

Y/N owns her own business. A home goods store called "Home Remedies". She designs, and oversees everything, but she still had time to keep Christopher when Eddie's family couldn't or needed a break. Sometimes she just wants to spend time with him, especially since his mom died. She never wants to or will replace his mother, but she wants him to have a mother figure, and everyone thinks she's the perfect person for it.

Y/N has been their shoulder to lean on since she left, and she continued to do so after she died. Eddie knew he loved her, but after Shannon coming back he was so confused. Here lately though,

Today was one of those days where Eddie was working and Christopher wanted to stay with Y/N, so she stopped working for a little bit, and picked him up from school. Y/N brings him back to work with her but stops by the bakery next door to get him something sweet to snack on while he does his homework.

"You excited for Christmas break Chris?" She asks as the walk into her store.

"Yeah." He sighs.

"Chris, what's wrong?" She asks as she takes him into the conference room where she was working before to get him set up.

"I'm not sure if Santa is going to be able to gift me the one thing I put on my list."

"Why's that?" Y/N asks as she helps him get in the chair and get his stuff out of his bag.

"Because everyone asked for the new hot wheels mustang LEGO set. I don't think the elves will have enough supplies to make everybody one." Chris replies as he writes his name on his math paper.

"Well, I'm sure Santa and the elves have it covered Chris. They are magic after all." She squats down to his level and presses a kiss to his head. "Don't worry ok? I'll put in a good word with Santa."

§§§

"Y/N, I seriously can not find this mustang anywhere! That's the only thing he asked for. What am I supposed to do?" Eddie asks as Y/N grabs a new science kit for Christopher off of the shelf.

"It will be ok Eddie. We'll make sure he gets it." Y/N turns and sees his scrunched up face before sighing and putting the box in her cart. "Now I know where your son gets his constant worrying."

Eddie pouts and pinches her side. "Y/N, stop picking on me."

"Sorry, I wish I could, but I don't want to."

He scoffs and puts his arm around her shoulders.

"Oh come on. I thought you loved me."

"I do love you Ed."

§§§

Y/N had a meeting with a store she sells to today. The store carried everything you could think of, so she wasn't surprised to hear that they got the last shipment of the Hot Wheels Mustang LEGO set. She perked you at the statement and turned to the owner.

"How much do those LEGO sets normally cost?"

"One hundred and twenty. Why?" The man asks.

"I'll give you double for one." She proposes.

"I don't know, I mean is that ethical or whatever?" The man questions.

"Look sir, I really need one of those for my best friends son, Christopher. That's the only thing he asked for this Christmas and neither his father nor I can find it anywhere." She explains. The man sits for a few seconds, still contemplating until she speaks up again. "How about three hundred?"

"You've got yourself a deal Ms. Y/L/N." The man smiles.

§§§

After completing her meeting and grabbing the LEGO set, Y/N makes a quick stop at the station to see Eddie.

She walks in, set in her hands, Eddie looks up and his eyes go wide.

"Oh my god. How did- Did you- Holy shit." He lets out a sigh of relief and wraps Y/N in his arms, picks her up and spins her around.

The rest of the 118 gathers to see what's going on and Buck immediately recognizes who the woman is.

"That's Y/N. His best friend, and also kind of Christopher's mother figure." He whispers to everyone, and they all nod.

Eddie sets Y/N down and hugs her even more.

"Oh my god I could kiss you right now I love you so much!"

He doesn't even realize what he said until he sees the confusion in her eyes, so he quickly diverts.

"Christopher is going to be so happy Y/N! How much do I owe you?"

"Don't worry about it Ed. Just tell him it's from Santa and that he always has enough for the good girls and boys." Y/N smiles as she hands it over.

"Are you sure?" Eddie asks.

"Of course! He deserves everything he wants." She replies.

As Eddie was about to reply the tones went off throughout the fire station and everyone started running to their trucks.

"Here, I'll put it in your closet when I take Chris home."

Eddie hands it over and quickly thanks her before running to get his gear and get in the truck.

Once he's settled and has his seatbelt on Buck turns to him.

"If you don't marry her, I will."

§§§

It was finally Christmas Day and Christopher was up early to open gifts and have breakfast before getting ready to spend the rest of his day with family. Y/N and Eddie have started getting more comfortable with the idea of maybe becoming something more than just friends and everyone could tell that it would work out in their favor, as well as Christopher's.

"All right Chris, this one is from Santa!" Y/N exclaims and hands him the gift that she wrapped because Eddie could not wrap to save his life.

Christopher took the gift from her and started ripping the paper. Once he saw the logo on the box he got excited.

"Oh my gosh! No way!" He exclaims.

"What did you get?" Eddie asks and leans over to see.

"The Hot Wheels Mustang LEGO set!"

"Santa and the elves did good this year didn't they?" Y/N asks from beside Christopher.

"Yeah! This is so cool!"

After Christopher opened his gifts, it was now time for Y/N and Eddie to open theirs.

Y/N and Christopher got Eddie a new punching bag and gloves. Eddie and Christopher got Y/N a fancy coffee machine and travel mugs since she uses them all of the time, but Eddie and Christopher have a surprise for Y/N.

"Hey Chris, can you grab that box beside you and hand it to her?"

Christopher nods and hand it to her excitedly. Y/N gives Eddie a confused look and he just tells her to open it.

She unwraps the box and opens it to see a picture of the three of them and a letter taped to it. She smiles at the picture and then grabs the piece of paper.

"Read it out loud." Eddie urges.

"Y/N. I do not know where Christopher and I would be without you. You have always been our rock and have never left our side even when things got really tough, or when we moved to a different state. You were there for me and my son when no one else was. I love you and I have since I first met you. I know you love me too, and my son. You are his mother. You have cared for him and loved him even when his biological mother didn't. Thank you for loving both of us, now we just hope you will let us continue to love you by being ours. My partner, and Christopher's mom." She reads aloud. She started crying during the third sentence, so the only way she could answer was by nodding her head and sobbing. Eddie sits down on her other side and presses a kiss to her head and then moves onto Christopher doing the same.

"I love you guys. So much." She kisses Christopher's cheek and then pulls Eddie in for a quick kiss.

"I love you mom." Christopher says as he snuggles into her side.

She may not be his mother by blood, but she is Christopher's mom and the love of Eddie's life.

Pen Pal [Owen Lindmark] 🎄

Description: Owen and Y/N both sign up for a Christmas Pen Pal project,

Warnings: Cursing.

A/N: Day 11 of 12 Days of Christmas! Merry Christmas!

The University of Wisconsin has a program around the holidays where students can be paired with a pen pal in their class if they feel like they are lonely or just want to.

Y/N wasn't making very many friends. She's a Pre-Med student, so she doesn't have much time to go party, or hang out with other students that aren't in her classes.

Sure, she did make a couple of friends, her roommate, Jessa, and Lacie, Max, and Joel, who are all pre-med students as well. She just felt closed off.

Owen has plenty of friends, he just wants friends that aren't hockey players, or girls that are just trying to hook up to say they hooked up with "The Owen Lindmark".

You know your pen pals first name, but that is it.

Owen has just gotten back to the dorm after practice and stopped by to get his mail for the first time in days. There was a package, his amazon order, finally. There was also two letters. He looked at the one, it said, "University of Wisconsin Pen-Pal Program". The other said "To: Owen From: Y/N".

"What's up O?" Ryder asks as he walks in behind his teammate.

"I got a letter from my pen pal. I think it's a girl, their name is Y/N."

"Yeah I've heard of her, never met her though." Ryder says.

Once Owen gets in his dorm room, he opens the package. He had ordered more Gatorade Gx pods. Then he opened the letter from the pen pal program.

Dear Owen Lindmark,

Thank you for signing up for the pen-pal program. After going through all of the students who have also signed up from your class, we have selected Y/N. Have fun making a new friend, and Happy Holidays!

Then he opens the letter from Y/N.

Hi Owen! I'm Y/N, we've been paired for the pen-pal program. I'm not really sure how to do this type of thing, so I'll just tell you a little about myself. I'm eighteen, a freshman here at UW. I'm a Pre-Med student and I want to be a Orthopedic Surgeon.

I hope to hear back from you!

"She sounds super smart." Owen mumbles to himself.

§§§

Later that day Owen sits down to write a letter to Y/N. He struggled for a little bit, not really sure what to say or even how to start out, but once he started he just kept writing.

A few of the boys came in while he was writing, asking what he was doing, and he just said "I'm talking to my pen-pal.".

The boys were confused, but just continued playing video games.

Once he was done, he rand down to the front desk to mail it to Y/N, hoping she didn't think he ignored her.

The next day Y/N stopped to get her mail in her dorm. It had been a few days since she sent a letter to her pen-pal, Owen, and she hadn't heard anything back, so she was hoping he sent her something.

She got her mail and her eyes lit up when she saw it said it was from him. She rushed up to her dorm and sat on her bed to read it before doing her homework.

Hi Y/N! I'm Owen! I'm sorry for not responding as quick as I should have, I forget to get my mail a lot. Anyway, you sound super smart! Where are you from and what do you like to do outside of school? I also do not know how to do this type of thing so I'll just tell you some random facts about myself. I'm eighteen, also a freshman at UW. I haven't chose a major yet, but I'm working on it. I'm from Naperville, Illinois. I love hockey, and football. I have a few siblings, they're kind of annoying sometimes but I love them. I like to play video games with my friends and basically just do whatever with my friends. They are a great group of people, I hope you'll meet them one day!

Over the next few weeks they sent letters back and forth. They even sent each other candy once in a while.

They both really like taking to each other and their friends all noticed. Y/N was a lot more social, and Owen was happy all of the time, even with finals being a week away.

Y/N had decided to get Owen a psychology book, because he had mentioned he was interested in that for his major. She got a box and put the book in it with a letter and a Milky Way.

Owen had also got Y/N some stuff. She had mentioned that she was going to try a new note taking method that would could down on time because it doubled for studying. She needed colored card stock and pens. He got her those and a Starbucks gift card that he taped to his letter to her. He decided last minute to put his phone number in it.

When he got her package the day before everyone left for Christmas break and opened it he smiled and pulled out another piece of paper.

Y/N about cried when she opened her package. She had a stressful day and the thoughtfulness of it made her day. When she read the letter she could feel it already. She hasn't even met this kid and she's already falling for him.

She put his phone number in her phone and texted him really quick.

§§§

Owens phone buzzed against his nightstand while he was making a sandwich. He walked over to it and saw it was a unknown number. When he opened it a big grin took over his face.

You're the sweetest. I forgot I told you about the card stock thing.

Then another message popped up.

Thank you Owen, you seriously made my day. ❤️

He decided to be a little brave with his reply.

You're welcome! And thank you for the psychology book. It's ok if you don't want to, but would you maybe want to meet up after break? I really like talking to you and I'd love to meet you in person.

It only took Y/N a minute to reply.

Y/N-

I'd love to. I'll see you then, pen-pal?

Owen-

I'll see you then, pen-pal. Merry Christmas.

Y/N-

Merry Christmas Owen.
